Spencers at Chesterfield are screaming for people able to deal with complex injury work. What a positive sign ! John Spencer is a great man too. If interested drop a line to Kelly.Pashley@SpencersSolicitors.com

The highly rated defendant insurance practice of DLA is to be taken over by Hill Dickinson . The deal was done on Friday .
Admiral Insurance is looking to acquire Lyons Davidson . The logic is that it can lawfully refer claimant injury work to itself .

The Jackson maelstrom gets ever closer and i am talking / writing 7 days a week at the moment.
I am sorry that we have still not had the budgeting judgment in Henry . Delivery has been postponed twice due to division within the Court of Appeal.
Zoe Holland , about whom i wrote recently , is inundated with solicitors looking both to buy and sell injury / clinical negligence work. She has carved out a fantastic niche. Good for her.

Jackson judicial training starts tomorrow. This will be interesting because the first 150 pages of Rule changes have yet to be signed off although i am certain this will be a formality.More intriguing is news that a second tranche of measures will follow but not until after the Rules Committee meets on february 8th.

It is a chilling thought that the Jackson reforms are less than 90 days away and they are to be implemented by a statutory instrument , as yet unpublished , that exceeds 150 pages in length. Happy days.
